Transaction section (modify records)

The fourth section of the Modify Records task properties form is labeled Transaction . The purpose of the Transaction section is to specify the scope of the transaction being processed. The choices for Transaction are as follows:

None: Indicates that the record is committed right after it is modified. No transactions are created; the processing of the task follows standard workflow rules.
Per X Source Records: A new context is created for each X number of records to be modified and committed when that number of records is reached. The default value is 1, which means the records are committed after each modification.

When a Modify Records task is within a DataConnect task, the outermost DataConnect task is in control of the transaction for that Modify Records task, regardless of setting in the Transaction section of the nested Modify Records task. The Modify Records task only can apply its Transaction setting if the controlling DataConnect task's Transaction setting is None.

At this point, you are ready to specify how the records specified in the Map To Records section will be modified by data copied from records specified in the Map From Records section. You specify this by using the Object Mapping form.

Access the Object Mapping form by clicking the Edit Map action on the Map To Records section bar. The Object Mapping form is described in "Object mapping".

If you want to reset the object mapping to its defaults without popping up the Object Mapping form, click the Reset Map action.
